Re: Reply to the Division of Water Quality's January 20, 2004 letter
Battleridge Subdivision
Garner, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Domey:
WETLANDS / 401 GROUP
JUL 2 J 2004
WATER QUALITY SECTION
This letter is in response to your letter dated January 20, 2004 (copy attached), which requested additional
information for the proposed Battleridge Subdivision. The following restates your request as shown on
your letter and then provides our response.
1. Please show all stream impacts inchiding all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank stabilization on the
site plan. Provide information concerning the stream feature depicted at the Northeast corner of
the site plan tit•ith respect to where the Raleigh Regional office has determined the stream begins
("NBR Flag 01').
The attached impact maps depict all proposed impacts within the proposed road crossing. The edge of
the proposed fill has been labeled and the edge of pavement is shown with darkened lines. Please find
the attached copy of the Neuse Buffer letter written by Mr. Steve Mitchell (DWQ-Raleigh Regional
Office) on February 28, 2002. On the backside of Mr. Mitchell's letter is a copy of the delineation
map, which depicts the location of the starting point for the buffered feature. This "start point" is
approximately 60-70' inside the delineated USACE approved wetland line. No impacts are proposed
in this area or with the buffers on this feature.
2. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage for the road
crossing.
Please find the attached cross sectional sketch of the proposed crossing provided by the project
engineer. The drawing shows the 42" culvert buried as per regulations "equal to or greater than 20%,"
which in this case is 9 inches to allow for aquatic life passage.
3. Please locate any planned setrer lines on the site.
All proposed sewer lines are shown on the attached map. An existing previously permitted sewer
crossing occurs downstream of the proposed road crossing and is labeled "Existing Sewer Line."
Another utility line is present upstream of the proposed road crossing and has been in place prior to the
Clean Water Act. There are no new proposed sewer line impacts to wetlands, streams, or buffers.

All stormwater outfalls are shown on the attached impact map. Level spreaders are planned and shown
at the outlets.
5. Please indicate the disseflow provision measures on the site plait.
Please see the attached site plan which depicts the location of the planned level spreaders. The level
spreader devices will insure that the diffuse flow requirements are met.
Please call or email me at SClark a SandEC.com if you have any questions or require any further
explanation.
Sincerely,
Sean Clark

Wake County
Dear Mr. Clark:
I have reviewed the maps that you have submitted for the project referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office
as NBRRO-02-041. An evaluation of the stream features was performed on February 5, 2002 to determine
whether the site would require compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rule.
The features represented on the Wake County Soils and the USGS topographic maps were evaluated
to determine their subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rule. It was determined that there are two features
represented that are is subject to the Neuse River Basin-Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy:
Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC
0233). Feature A is subject from NBR Flag 01 and feature B is subject through the property.
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to the Wetlands
401/404 issues, please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter
and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 571- 4700.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell
